Charlize Theron breaks down her "Snow White" costumes

One way to describe Charlize Theron’s sumptuous costumes in “Snow White and the Huntsman,” is couture gone wild. We’re not just talking about a few high collars, a pointy crown, and a little embroidery. Charlize’s high-glam looks were painstakingly created by Oscar-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood, a long-time collaborator of Tim Burton’s. Atwood crafted a white and gold piece with leather, beadwork and an origami-like collar made out of glazed parchment that’s meant to simulate bone for the good queen's early scenes. As her dark side emerges, she slips into a floor-length cloak made out of black/green rooster feathers that Atwood shaped and sewed onto a silk backing. See how long Atwood says it took to make each look (7 weeks!) and how Charlize says it felt to wear them.
